APPENDIX. 



Introduced Species. 



In this appendix the known introduced species of fishes within 

 the hmits of the state are given. The prime object in the intro- 

 duction of most of them was, of course, their utiHty as either 

 food or game animals. In preparing this account I was so for- 

 tunate as to procure some interesting information from Mr. James 

 M. Stratton, of the Fish and Game Commission. Mr. Stratton 

 kindly criticised my list, informing me that the enumeration of 

 the introduced species is correct. He also states that the Com- 

 mission makes no attempt to- introduce any species but large and 

 small mouthed black bass, pike, perch, white or silver bass, 

 strawberry bass and crappie. The tench, ide, common or 

 round white fish, lake herring or cisco, tuUibee, lake tahoe 

 trout, steel head trout, lockleven trout, rainbow trout, swiss 

 lake trout, lake trout, sunapee trout, warmouth and green sun 

 fish have never been introduced by the Fish and Game Commis- 

 sion. If any do occur they have been brought here by private 

 individuals and placed in private waters. 



Family CYPRINID^. 



The Carps. 



The species introduced into our waters all belong to the Cy- 

 prinincu, or those with an elongate dorsal fin, and both dorsal and 

 anal preceeded by a serrated spine. The teeth on the pharyngeals 

 are molar. x
